My mum has been doing night shifts the last 2 nights which leaves me alone. For whatever reason this village gives me the creeps. I think it’s cause it’s much darker than where I used to live and I get very scared at night of someone breaking in and potentially hurting me. I didn’t sleep well last night.
Is there anything you do to help when your feeling this way? I left a light on last night but my heart was racing for a good hour and a half.
Does your puppy comfort you and help you feel less alone? Also, I would guess puppy would bark if she heard any unusual sounds so that might help you feel safer.
She comforts me and she does bark however I end up just worrying about her getting hurt too. And she is a small dog and wouldn’t be very good at defending me plus she is so friendly. But yeah she would bark if she heard anything. I tell myself that would put anyone off breaking in.
I have to take her out in the garden before bed to get her to go wee and it’s pitch black out there which also creates a lot of anxiety.
Is there an outside porch light you can put on? If not, maybe you could bring a flashlight out with you.
No porch light. But good idea about the flash light. I’d just been turning on the kitchen lights to shine through the windows onto the garden.
I take a flashlight when I take my dog out at night, mainly because I’m afraid we might encounter an unexpected raccoon or skunk.
I’m sorry @Qwerty.
I know how you feel.
Turn on a radio , maybe you will feel less lonely
I get anxious and worry about someone coming in even though I have a big German Shepherd that is super attached to me.
He is adorable @anon4362788
Well the dog has been taken out I decided to take her out half an hour earlier to make matters a bit easier and I shall try the radio idea @anon48059102 or something similar.
Thanks @Wave
Thanks. Most people are scared of him but he is a big baby that is scared of kittens.
Maybe this video will make both you and @Qwerty laugh. 
Cute @Moonbeam Put a smile on my face this evening.
Scaring me… my husband will be working nights for the first time early next year.
I had a bf who did that before
i ended up drinking one or two beers and mooning about things a lot
it was before the internet though
that was an unhealthy relationship
since then i had a long time of staying up even though my husband was asleep in bed
this has been very chronic and very bad for my health
